The victim had multiple contusions to his face, a belt-like mark on his right temple and several other types of injuries.

"It is apparent that the child has been the victim of ongoing physical abuse and neglect having sustained nicks, gouges, scrapes and cuts that were inflicted at different periods of time," according to the Child Protection Team.

Kurtz admitted to police that he was taking care of the child, but could not give a reasonable explanation on how the victim sustained the injuries, police said.
